Scientists have discovered a new way of creating superheavy elements by firing supercharged ion beams at dense atoms. The ...

The periodic table of chemical elements, often called the periodic table, organizes all discovered chemical elements in rows (called periods) and columns (called groups) according to increasing atomic ...

But how many of these elements do you know? Test your knowledge and compete with other Live Science readers to see who can come top in our periodic table quiz. The periodic table of elements is a ...

Just four years before Mendeleev announced his periodic table, Newlands noticed that there were similarities between elements with atomic weights that differed by seven. He called this The Law of ...

Scientists have found that our bodies need 28 different elements to function properly. These are almost one-quarter of the periodic table and are mainly found in the first four periods.

This last facet of her story is at the core of Dava Sobel’s new book, The Elements of Marie Curie, which follows 2016’s The ...

Chemistry students at Anderson showed up to school bright and early to carve pumpkins and create the periodic table of ...
